Forcing players to pay to keep housing is unfair.

I'm not sure you are right. If instanced houses were offered all the assets for the actual houses are already there. We'd need an entrance added to each area and the plot would have to be designed but that doesn't sound like that much work and I'm not convinced it would mean the next expansion comes out anywhere near as badly as you describe.

I agree not everyone wants a house but a lot of players do and at the moment, supply is way below demand. Almost every patch sees new content for housing; making it something that requires continuous play to keep on top of only allowing a small proportion of players to access it in the first place, doesn't really make a lot of sense.
